If you think it's going to be US vs China, you're going to be absolutely wrong.
If it remains a cold war then it's about friction and who can last longer but if it becomes active, the world will split into 3 factions as WWII and the numbers will shift.
- simonblack 3y agothe world will split into 3 factions One of those factions will be the West. Unfortunately for the West, the West is too small to be a major player and will be a big loser in WW3. Modern warfare is just arithmetic, and the West just doesn't have the numbers that stack up. The whole of the West is smaller than just China by itself. Also China has far more manufacturing capacity than the whole of the West combined. The West is going to get its ass kicked big time. If you put Russia and China together, you get something that has the huge raw material and energy resources of Russia plus the advanced technology of Russia plus the huge manufacturing capacity of China plus almost a quarter of the world's total population. A very hard combination to overcome.
- xandrius 3y agoIf you throw into the "West" India and Southeast Asia, the numbers start to change.
- simonblack 3y agoA good pointer whether those countries will side with the West is whether those countries put sanctions on Russia when the Western countries did after February 2022. The West has treated many countries badly, and yet still thinks those countries will side with it? Not likely at all. The chickens come home to roost. As Napoleon/Rommel/whoever is reputed to say, "God is on the side of the big battalions."
- freilanzer 3y ago> plus the advanced technology of Russia Yeah, I see this advanced technology at play in the Ukraine at the moment....
